INTRODUCTION. 



OUE idea is to put in small space, with comfortable 
type, the old and new hymns which are so " catch- 
ing" that a congreg-ation cannot help but sing. Not 
more than one out of four church-goers sings, and he 
who does sing is apt to do it with his mouth half shut, 
as though to keep his soul from escaping with the utter- 
ance. 

We do not print the music with the words, because the 
vast majority of people in church never look at the 
music even when it is printed. Besides that, nearly all 
the tunes we sing are familiar, and we need no guide- 
board on a road we have all our lives been travelling. 
If there be any one who does not know " Toplady " and 
'* Antioch," we defy all the music books of the world to 
teach him. When we want to employ " new tunes " 
we will learn them in the congregational singing- school, 
an indispensable institution. The "notes" are indis- 
pensable for schools vvhere the art is to be learned ; but 
If in church one cannot follow a tune except by poising 
himself on minims or semi-quavers, there will not be 
much devotion in what he sings. It makes us nervous 
to have a man sitting next to us in chm-ch who sings by 
note when he does not know how. Instead of mounting 
heavenward on the five-runged ladder of the musical 
staff, he is all the time afraid of faUing off. We do not 
come to church to study music, but to worship God.

INTRODUCTION. 

IVe also want a cheap book, so that if there be ten 
jtiembers of a family, there can be ten copies in a pew, 
that number costing no more than one copy of the 
ordinarily expensive Church Hymn Book. 

We hear on all sides a demand for such a publication 
and to supply that, while at the same time we gratify 
our own congreg-ation, we send this unpretending 
volume forth with the prayer, "Let every thing that 
hath breath praise the Lord I " 

T. DE WITT TALMAGE. 

Brooklyn, Feb. 22, 1S74. 



THESE two hundred choice hymns, which are enough 
to last any congregation for a long time, are arranged 
in alphabetical order. This affords much greater conve- 
nience for finding them, than if arranged according to 
their subjects. 

An ample Index of Subjects is at the end of the book, 
as well as an Index of Fir fit Lines. 

On page 2 will be found an Indese^ of Specvtl Tunes 
adapted to the hymns of irregular metre. This fur- 
nishes every needed facility for the use of all those 
hymns. The other hymns can be sung to well-known 
tunes, concerning which no particular direction is 
needed. 

Compilers of other hymn books are reminded that 
many of the hymns in this book are copyright property, 
which must not be taken without consent of the pub- 
lishers.

S. M. 

Watch.— Matt. 25. 13. 
CHARGE to keep I have, 



A G-od to glorify ; 

A never-dying soul to save, 

And lit it for the sky, 

2 To serve the present age^ 
My calling to fulfil, 

0, may it all my powers engage 
To do my Master's wilL 

3 Arm me with jealous cara, 
As in thy sight to live ; 

And 0, thy servant, Lord, prepare 
A strict account to givo. 

4 Help me to watch and pray, 
And on thyself rely, 

Assured, if I my trust betray, 
I shall forever die. 

2 CM. 

Christ died for our sLqs. — 1 Cor. 15. 3. 

ALAS I and did my Saviour bleed I 
And did ray Sov'reign die I 
Would he devote that sacred head 
For such a worm as I ? 



^ahtxnatU Qlljarus. 

2 Was it for crimes that I have done, 
He groaned upon the tree? 

Amazing pity I grace unknown I 
And love beyond degree 1 

3 "Well might the sun in darkness hide 
And shut his glories in ; 

When Christ, the mighty Maker, died 
For man the creature's sin. 

4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, 
While his dear cross appears : 

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, 
And melt mine eyes to tears. 

5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay 
The debt of love I owe; 

Here, Lord, I give myself away, 
'Tis all that I can do. 

3 CM. 

Qod is faithful, who •will not suffer you to be tempted 
above that ye are able. — 1 Cor. 10. 13. 

ALAS ! what hourly dangers rise, 
What snares beset my way ; 
To heaven, let me lift mine eyes, 
And hourly watch and pray. 

2 Whene'er temptations fri^ ht my heart, 
Or lure my ieet aside. 

My God, thy powerful aid impart, 
My Guardian and ray Guide. 

3 keep me in thy heavenly way, 
And bid the tempter flee ; 

And let me never, never stray, 
From happiness and thee.

King of kings, and Lord of lords. — Rev. 19. 161 
LL hail the power of Jesus' name 1 
Let angels prostrate fall ; 
Bring forth the royal diadem, 
And crown hhn Lord of all. 

2 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, 
Ye ransomed from the fall, 

Han him, who saves you by his grace, 
And crown him Lord of all. 

3 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget 
The wormwood and the gall. 

Go, spread your trophies at his feet, 
And crown him Lord of all. 

4 Let every kindred, every tribe, 
On this terrestrial baU, 

To him all majesty ascribe. 
And crown him Lord of all.

"We at his feet may fall ;

Being justified freely by his grace.— EoiiAKS 8. 24. 

AMAZESi Gr grace ! how sweet the sound 
That saved a wretch like me ! 

1 once was lost, but now am found : 
Was blind, but now I see. 

2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, 
And grace my fears relieved : 

How precious did that grace appear, 
The hour I first believed I

3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares 

1 have already come : 

'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, 
And grace will lead me home. 

4 And when this flesh and heart shall fail, 
And mortal life shall cease, 

I shall possess, within the vail, 
A life of joy and peace. 

6 C. M. 

Fight the good fight of faith.— 1 Tim. 6. 12. 

AM I a soldier of the cross, 
A foUVer of the Lamb ? 
And shall I fear to own his cause, 
Or blush to speak his name ? 

2 Must I be carried to the skies, 
On flowery beds of ease ? 

While others fought to win the prize, 
And sailed through bloody seas ? 

3 Are there no foes for me to face ? 
Must I not stem the flood ? 

Is this vile world a friend to grace. 
To help me on to Grod ? 

4 Sure, I must fight, if I would reign : 
Increase my courage. Lord I 

I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, 
Supported by the word. 

5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war. 
Shall conquer, though they die ; 

They see the triumph from afar, 

By fliith they bring it nigh. 
8 



ffiabernacle (El)oxm, 

6 When that illustrious day shall rise, 

And all thine armies shine 
In robes of victory through the skies, 

The glory shall be thine. 

7 S. M. 

We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ 
EOMANS 14 10. 

AND will the Judge descend ? 
And must the dead arise ? 
And not a single soul escape 
His all-discerning eyes ? 

2 How will my heart endure 
The terrors of that day, 

When earth and heaven before his face 
Astonished shrink away ? 

3 But ere the trumpet shakes 
The mansions of the dead, 

Hark 1 from the Gospel's cheering sound, 
What joyful tidings spread. 

4 Ye sinners, seek his grace, 
Whose wrath ye cannot bear ; 

Fly to the shelter of his cross, 
And find salvation there. 

8 CM. 

O God, hear the prayer of thy servant.— Dan. 9. IT. 

APPROACH, my soul, the mercy-seat, 
Where Jesus answers prayer; 
There humbly fall before his feet, 
For none can perish there. 



2 Thy promise is my only plea ; 
With this I venture nigh ; 

Thou cailest buidened souls to thee, 
And such, Lord, am I. 

3 Bow'd down beneath a load of sin, 
By Satan sorely press'd, 

By war ^vithout, and fear within, 
I come to thee for rest. 

4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place ; 
That, sheltered near thy side, 

I may my fierce accuser face, 
And tell him. Thou hast died. 

5 0, wondrous love I to bleed and die, 
To bear the cross and shame, 

That guilty sinners, such as I, 
Might plead thy gracious Name ! 

9 H. M. 

Seeing lie ever Hveth to make intercession for them. 
Heb. T. 25. 

ARISE, my soul, arise ; 
Shake off thy guilty fears ; 
The bleeding sacrifice 
In my behalf appears ; 
Before the throne my surety stands : 
My name is written on his hands. 

2 He ever lives above. 

For me to intercede. 

His all-redeeming love. 

His precious blood to plead ; 
His blood atoned for aU our race, 
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

3 My God is reconciled ; 

His pardoning voice I hear ; 
He owns me for his child — 
I can no lons^er fear; 
His Spirit answers to the blood, 
And tells me I am born of God 



L.M. 

Awake, awake ; put on streng-th, O arm of the Lord. — 

ISAIAII 51. 9. 

ARM of the Lord, awake, awake, 
Put on thy strength, the nations shake. 
And let the world, adoring, see 
Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee. 

2 Say to the heathen, from thy throne, 
"I am Jehovah — God alone:" 

Thy voice their idols shall confound, 
And cast their altars to the ground. 

3 No more let human blood be spilt, 
Vain sacrifice for human guilt ; 

But to each conscience be applied 
The blood that flowed from Jepus' side. 

4 Almighty God, thy grace proclaim, 
In every land declare thy name. 
Let adverse powers before thee fall. 
And crown the Saviour — Lord of all.

AWAKE, and sing the song 
Of Moses and the Lamb ; 
Wake every heart and every tongue 1 
To praise the Saviour's name.

Sing of his rising power ; 

Sing — how he intercedes above 
For those whose sins he bore. 

3 Ye pilgrims I on the road 
To Zion's city, sing ! 

Rejoice ye in the Lamb of God,— 
In Christ, the eternal King. 

4 Soon shall we hear him say, — 
** Ye blessed children ! come;'' 

Soon will he call us hence away, 
And take his wanderers home. 

5 There shall each raptured tongue 
His endless praise proclaim ; 

And sweeter voices tune the song 
Of Moses and the Lamb. 

12 L.M. 

I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the mornbig. 
PsA. 59. 16. 

AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun 
Thy daily course of duty run; 
Shake off duU sloth, and early rise 
To pay thy morning sacrifice. 

2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart. 
And with the angels bear thy part ; 
Who all night long unwearied sing, 
"Grlory to thee, eternal King." 

3 Grlory to thee, who safe hast kept 
And hast refreshed me while I slept ; 
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, 
I mav of endless life partake.

4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew; 
Scatter my sins as morning dew ; 
Guard my first spring of thought and will, 
And with thyself my spirit fill. 

5 Direct, control, suggest this day, 
All I design, or do, or say, 

Tliat all my powers, with all their might, 
In thy sole glory may unite, 

13 L.M. 

How excellent is thy loving-kindness ! — ^Psa. 86. T. 

AWAKE, my soul, in joyful lays, 
And sing thy great Redeemer's 
praise. 
He justly claims a song from thee, — 
His loving-kindness, how free 1 

2 He saw me ruined in the fall, 
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all. 
He saved me from my lost estate, — 
His loving-kindness, how great I 

3 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud. 
Has gathered thick, and thundered loud^ 
He near my soul has always stood, — 
His loving-kindness, how good I 

4 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale. 
Soon all my mortal powers must fail ; 
! may my last expiring breath 
His loving-kindness sing in death. 

5 Then let me mount and soar away 
To the bright world of endless day ; 
And slug with rapture and surprise, 
His loving-kindness in the skies.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high caJlin^ 
of God in Christ Jesus.— Phil. 3. 14. 

AWAKE, my soul, stretch every nerve, 
And press with vigour on : 
.A tieavenly race demands thy zeal, 
And an immortal crown. 

2 A cloud of witnesses around 
Hold thee in full survey ; 

Forget the steps already trod, 
And onward urge thy way. 

3 'Tis God's all animating voice 
That calk thee from on high ; 

'Tis his own hand presents the prize 
To thine uplifted eye.

A heavenly race demands thy zeal, 
And an immortal crown.

PSA. 100. 1. 

BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne 
Ye nations bow with sacred joy ; 
Know that the Lord is God alone, — 
He can create, and he destroy. 

2 His sov'reign power, without our aid, 
Made us of clay, and form'd us men ; 

And when, like wand'ring sheep, we stray'd 
He bro'iglit us to His fold again.

O, matchless kindness 1 and he shows

But wisdom shows a narrow path, 
With here and there a traveller.

Nature must count her gold but dross. 
If she would gain this heavenly land.

And walks the ways of G-od no more,

TliQ few lurid mornings that dawn on us here 
Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its 
cheer. 

2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin, 
Temptation mthout, and corruption within ; 
E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with 

fears, 
And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent 
tears. 

3 I would not hve alwaj; no, welcome the 

tomb; 
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its 

gloom : 
There sweet be my rest till he bid me arise. 
To hail him in triumph descending the skies. 

4 Who. who would live alway, away from his 

God- 
Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, 
Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the 

bright plains, 
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns ? 

5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony 

meet. 
Their Saviour and brethren transported to 

greet ; 
Whilp the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, 
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the 

soul !

And Sabbaths have no end? 

3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom 
Nor sin, nor sorrow know ; 

Blest seats I through rude and stormy

Or feel at Jeath dismay ? 

I've Canaan's goodly land in view, 
And realms of endless day.

Around my Saviour stand ; 

And soon my friends in Christ below 
Will join the glorious band.

Then shall my labours have an end

And mourned because I found it not; 
My grief a burden long has been,

PRA.YER is the soul's sincere desire,

The motion of a hidden fire

The upward glancing of an eye 
When none but God is near. 

3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech, 
That infant lips can try ; 

Prayer the subHmest strains that reach 
The Majesty on high. 

4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, 
The Christian's native air: 

His watchword at the -gates of death- 
He enters heaven with prayer. 

5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, 
Returning from his ways ; 

While angels in their songs rejoice, 
And cry — Behold, he prays !
